tvN and Tving’s drama The Queen Who Crowns (Wongyeong) has hit a new milestone, reaching a peak rating of 6.7% during its sixth episode, as reported by Korean sources. This gripping historical drama secured the top spot in its time slot across all networks, grabbing attention with its bold storytelling and unique approach.

The Seoul-based company, known for creating popular webtoon Solo Leveling, has previously focused on distribution and investment but has been increasing its international ambitions over the past year.

At the EFM, it will unveil a sales slate led by crime drama Sister and horror thriller Killing Time.

South Korea’s Redice Entertainment, creator of hit webtoon “Solo Leveling,” has entered into the international film sales business, launching a slate at the upcoming European Film Market (EFM) in Berlin.

The company will bring new titles Sister and Killing Time to the market, which are both currently in post-production.

Sister is a crime thriller directed by Jin Sung-moon and stars Jung Zi-so, Lee Soo-hyuk (Pipeline) and Cha Joo-young (The Glory). The film follows the unexpected relationships that develop between one hostage and two kidnappers.

Horror-thriller film Killing Time stars Ryu Hye-young (Gangnam B-Side) and Nam Yun-su (Extracurricular) and is directed by Jang Jun-yeop (After Spring). The film follows a YouTube crew named “Killing Time” who loses a team member in an unexpected accident during a live broadcast.

Supporting characters include Chae-ryeong, a servant turned mistress, and Yeong-sil, a concubine carrying the King’s child.

When Netflix announced in April that it’s planning to spend $2.5 billion on Korean content across the next four years, on top of the more than $1 billion already spent since 2016, it made the world sit up and take notice.

In many ways, spending heavily in Korea is a no-brainer. Netflix has already had a global breakout Korean hit with Squid Game, followed by a slew of shows that may not have reached the same dizzy heights but are still international hits such as period zombie drama Kingdom, supernatural thriller Hellbound, Extraordinary Attorney Woo, about a female lawyer on the autism spectrum, revenge saga The Glory, and survival game show Physical: 100.

Of course, Netflix is not the only global streamer in the Korean content game, but it was arguably the first to spot its international potential. On a recent trip to Seoul, Netflix co-ceo Ted Sarandos said that 60% of its...
